The Dividend Tax Map: Structuring Accounts to Maximize After-Tax Income #916580

Dividends and fund distributions may look simple on the surface, but for professionals and advanced investors, the true challenge lies in taxation. Where an asset is held can matter as much as the yield itself. Without precision in account placement, investors risk giving away significant portions of income unnecessarily.

This book provides a rigorous, research-driven framework for understanding and managing the tax treatment of dividends and distributions. Readers will learn:

How ordinary dividends, qualified dividends, and fund distributions are taxed.

Why account placement can dramatically alter long-term after-tax returns.

How to design tax-efficient portfolios across taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free accounts.

The impact of state taxes, foreign withholdings, and fund turnover.

A repeatable system for modeling tax drag and improving income efficiency.

The Dividend Tax Map is written for advisors, analysts, and serious investors who demand clarity in navigating the intersection of income investing and taxation. It turns complexity into a structured plan for keeping more of what you earn.
